# Comix Zone XBLA: Xbox 360 binary analysis and static recompilation

> Comix Zone XBLA analyzes the Xbox 360 release's XEX2 binary and reports translating its PowerPC code to C++ with XenonRecomp. The investigation maps PE sections, imports and an embedded Genesis emulator with 68K, Z80, YM2612 and video components. Function-boundary fixes and ReXGlue runtime implementation remain pending.
